This year’s Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ Stena Line Dublin Horse Show takes place from the 7th-11th August at the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
With over 1,500 horses and ponies, 135 competitions, it’s one of the stand out events of the summer!
And making it extra special this year is the 100th anniversary of Ladies’ Day.
Not just a day for hats and gúnas, but a day for celebrating women in sport, which is how it became known as Ladies Day back in 1919.
A new addition for this year’s Show is the focus on wellness. At the heart of equestrianism is the relationship between the horse and rider. But what can we learn from such relationships?
Equine-assisted therapy is well established around the globe and this year visitors can hear from experts in this area and how to bring some of their learnings into your own life.
Expanding on this theme, BEO Wellness will bring a wealth of speakers on all manner of areas from food, to fitness, to style, fitting in perfectly with Ladies’ Day at the Show.
The Show has plenty more to offer visitors with some boutique fashion and craft offerings alongside equine products, from both home and abroad….
We have THREE (yes, three) Pairs of tickets to attend the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ Stena Line Dublin Horse Show on any day.
To enter, Just tell us your first memory of the Horse Show.
Lines MUST close at 3.15pm EXTENDED until 6.15pm MIDNIGHT! 3AM

At some point this evening, RiRa the undisputed King of Irish hip hop will release what is sure to be another belter…
Following on his creative collaboration with life long friend Cras Cass this is the second video the lads worked on, on location in TTown aka Tullamore.
In a week where Offaly celebrated local legend Shane Lowry we still had to wake up to the reality of more jobs being culled and none look likely to be created.
It’s good to be brought back to earth with a little bit of Offaly levity. Thanks to RiRa and Crass Cass.
In the meantime feel free to check out RiRa’s YouTube channel where 110 packages of pure passion and serious talent await the curious and creative…

Free tonight?
Rise up.
An ecelctic picnic at Thomas House, The Liberties, Dublin 8 with Jennifer Healy, Arlene Murray and Gerard Proudfoot on the decks.
Nifty posterage, in fairness.
Cranes vs Creatives
Released on the RTÉ Player TODAY (at link below) as part of the short documentary series, Docland.
Clare McQuaid writes:
Cranes vs Creatives follows stories from The Bernard Shaw, The Dublin Flea Market, Dublin Digital Radio and Club Comfort to find out what is happening to the city.
With hotels and student accommodation being built on every corner are we in danger of losing the heart of the city and the people that make it so vibrant and unique?

The Overlook
at
Behold: the Cliff Concept Boutique Hotel – a vertiginous five-tiered vision on the upper face of Preikestolen (‘Pulpit Rock’) 600 meters above Norway’s Lysefjord.
Every year, 200,000 visitors flock to Preikestolen to take in the spectacular view. Architectural design studio Hayriatak envisages an exclusive vantage where guests can take in the sights from rounded balconies and the glass walls of an infinity pool cantilevered over the fjord.

This afternoon.
Centre Parcs Longford.
Invited slebs, including telly’s Baz Ashmawy and Karen Koster, help launch “Ireland’s largest waterpark”, the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, at the official launch of Center Parcs Longford Forest.
The pair were among 2,000 guests (but not us, sad face) on hand to preview the resort before it welcomes its first cash-paying ‘Billy Bunters’ this coming Monday.

The Swan
at
Behold: the painterly tableau of the constellation Cygnus (the Swan) picked out at the northern end of the Great Rift in swirling strokes of interstellar dust and glowing hydrogen gas. To wit:
Composed with three different telescopes and about 90 hours of image data the widefield mosaic spans an impressive 24 degrees across the sky. Alpha star of Cygnus, bright, hot, supergiant Deneb lies near top centre. Crowded with stars and luminous gas clouds Cygnus is also home to the dark, obscuring Northern Coal Sack Nebula, extending from Deneb toward the centre of the view. The reddish glow of star forming regions NGC 7000, the North America Nebula and IC 5070, the Pelican Nebula, are just left of Deneb. The Veil Nebula is a standout below and left of centre. A supernova remnant, the Veil is some 1,400 light years away, but many other nebulae and star clusters are identifiable throughout the cosmic scene. Of course, Deneb itself is also known to northern hemisphere skygazers for its place in two asterisms — marking the top of the Northern Cross and a vertex of the Summer Triangle.
